Deborah Mora is an audiovisual artist and designer specialised in live AV, expanded storytelling, video, graphic design and art direction in the field of music and performance art, and the cultural sector.

She is also active as a visual maker and live operator (VJ) for stages and music festivals. These include DGTL (Amsterdam), DOUR (Dour, Belgium), FIBER (Amsterdam).
